As everyone who follows (or HAS followed) this blog knows that I am a die-hard New York Yankees fan – which means I hate the Boston Red Sox with a passion. However, I have begrudgingly showed some respect to some Red Sox icons. Ted Williams. Carl Yastrzemski. Pedro Martinez. Nomar Garciaparra. Dustin Pedroia. Manny Ramirez. Now…

Good Riddance, A-Rod
I’m not going to spend a helluva lot of time on any rant having to do with Alex Rodriguez. Any move that dude makes seems to have an ulterior motive behind it, which is why I won’t produce a tribute-style rant for A-Fraud. Yeah, I know his 22-year baseball career will come to an end on…

This is also the time to see either how well I’m doing in my preseason prediction or how much I sucked at doing so – and it’s usually the latter. Anyhoo, without further ado… American League AL…
